You're the first person I've ever seen mention this absolutely rad movie. Watch it for the Godzilla scene alone...

This fucking dipshit.

Substack's extremist ecosystem is flourishing Yup, they're still at it.

When I left Substack in 2024 I wrote: "For those who are staying because they think the Nazi problem is fake or overblown...just wait. Substack mgmt just put out the welcome mat for some pretty horrible people. Many will surely answer.”

Surprise! A bunch did.

Part of me knew back then where the words would take us Even as the carcinogenic dust hadn't yet settled (Into the lungs of the first responders) (Even that phrase has power it never had before) (I long for a time when I didn't know what "first responders" could mean) Even before we waged war because of Whatever reasons we needed to make war (And really, we don't need any reason at all) (War comes along with modern humans) (I don't want to believe that) (But I do believe that) Even before racism was turned up to eleven Phrases already began to appear in our psyche Spontaneous generation making a return in the mental world of all of us I wanted to tear them out by the root, before they could even see the sun. But they grew. And now it's difficult to explain how There didn't used to be a Department of Homeland Security Sometimes it's difficult to even remember myself that there wasn't "Homeland"? I remember the word as a question echoing inside my skull Isn't there anybody who remembers WWII? Didn't anybody read 1984? Anne Frank? All the warnings (Themselves given to us in words, of course) They didn't really take, did they? "Homeland" will never ring true to me It's always a warning of what's to come.

Cancel Reply Add alt text X Marc Andreessen I was born in 1971 in lowa and grew up in Wisconsin. My cohort of citizens was told that we just had to put up with this as a cost of prior American bigotry, even though the discrimination was now aimed at us. And for the most part we did. But then the insanity of the last 8 years and in particular the summer of 2020 totally shredded that complacency. And so now my people are furious and not going to take it anymore. The universities are at ground zero of the counterattack since they are BOTH actively discriminating against us AND primary origin points and propagation vectors for this worldview and these policies. They declared war on 70% of the country and now they're going to pay the price.

What discrimination did Andreessen face? He went to a public university & was able to work on early federally funded research projects on computing, and turn that into a career.

The insanity of the last 8 years? Workers or online posters who disagreed with him? A government that dared regulate him?

“Descending on a person in public, laying hands on them, and taking them to a distant prison is a naked expression of state power. For it to be tolerated in a democracy, it cannot be done by shadowy, masked agents,” Brandon del Pozo argues: https://theatln.tc/w6Ht1SLu

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

It's important that frodo and gandalf stabbed a lot of people shortly after this conversation and then Gandalf murdered a demon of the ancient world, by with a sword. They weren't feeling sorry for themselves. They immediately went and killed a bunch of people directly responsible for the problem.

Evaluating the impact of two decades of USAID interventions and projecting the effects of defunding on mortality up to 2030: a retrospective impact evaluation and forecasting analysis USAID funding has significantly contributed to the reduction in adult and child mortality across low-income and middle-income countries over the past two decades.

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.

Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

National Pride in America Takes Dramatic Nosedive Under Trump The largest slumps were recorded by Democrats and young people.

Under Trump, most Americans are ashamed of their country, and that seems entirely attributable to Trump. www.thedailybeast.com/national-pri...

To the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and the Sub-Committee on Human Rights, The undersigned are organisations which advocate for the human rights of trans people in the United Kingdom. We are writing to express our grave concerns about the developing situation regarding trans people's human rights in this country and to ask the Committee to take action. Following a decision of the UK Supreme Court in April, the Equality and Human Rights Commission - the UK's National Human Rights Institution - has issued an interim update which encourages and in some cases mandates the exclusion of trans people from single-sex spaces and services, in violation of their human rights. This has been followed by draft guidance which seeks to make such an approach statutory. The EHRC has made clear that it is not seeking input on its legal approach, only on how this approach is best communicated. The draft guidance, if it were to become law, would impose an obligation on employers and service providers to implement a bathroom ban on trans people using toilet and changing facilities in line with their acquired sex, instead requiring in practice that they use only gender neutral facilities. Such gender neutral facilities are frequently unavailable, and mandating their usage may require trans people to out themselves. The guidance would also prohibit associations for women and lesbians operating on a basis which would allow trans women to participate, even if the association desires to do so. This would also be true for men's organisations wanting to include trans men. This draft guidance is being consulted on in the wider context following For Women Scotland, in which government ministers and public bodies have made comments about trans people's rights. The UK Minister for Women and Equalities has stated that trans people are required to use the toilets associated with their sex as recorded at birth, even where their change in sex is recognised by a Gender Recognition Cer…

In Christine Goodwin v UK, the European Court of Human Rights held that refusing to legally recognise the lived sex of trans people and placing them into an 'intermediate zone' where they are not quite one sex or the other was a violation of their right to respect for private life under Article 8 of the Convention. This protection was reaffirmed by the Court in the very recent decision of T.H. It is a core principle of the Convention that rights must be practical and effective, not theoretical and illusory. We believe that in the UK, trans people are being returned to this 'intermediate zone', placing the State - once again - in violation of its positive obligations under the Convention. The legal recognition afforded by Gender Recognition Certificates is now illusory, and inapplicable to practical lived realities of trans people in this country. We ask that the Council of Europe take immediate action to protect the human rights of trans people in the UK. We ask that you conduct a report into the state of trans human rights in the UK. We note that the situation is urgent and that without intervention, it seems likely to further deteriorate. Kind regards, Trans+ Solidarity Alliance TransActual Equality Network and Scottish Trans Trans Safety Network Feminist Gender Equality Network

Our joint letter to the Council of Europe, asking them to urgently conduct a report into trans human rights in the UK.

A Rhode Island Judge Tells Trump "No" And it's a very important "no"

Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Man suspected of shooting 2 Minnesota lawmakers is in custody after surrendering to police The man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another has been taken into custody, ending a nearly two-day search that put the entire state on edge.

BREAKING: The Justice Department has charged the man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers with federal murder and stalking offenses.

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted.

RIGHT: The reality.

So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation.

And it's only Monday.

A Trump supporter attempted to murder two Democrats and their families to tip the Minnesota state legislature—and it’s somehow not an enormous scandal for Trump.

The both-sidesing of fascist violence is a massive failure of both parties, and the national political media.
